Thanks Bob.

There are two kinds of assortment pad sets with greenbacks for Buffet in JL Smith's webiste. According to the SN, mine was made in 1983. Will either of them fit? One set is black, is it just color that's different? If yes, I like the idea of black pads as they probably don't turn yellow when they age.

I removed all keys and oiled the entire clarinet body last night. From the looks of the pads, they are not terrible. I will be able to tell once I put the keys back and then I will decide whether or not to proceed pad replacement.

I saw some keys with corks missing. Where do you get cork replacement? Can I use hide glue to attach corks?

Thanks,
Kai
